For a lantern on a ready upstand, clear photos and measurements are often enough. Replacements and new openings need a survey.
Can you build the upstand as well?
We can quote for upstands and associated roofing on a survey basis.

Your local authority building control team or a registered building control approver. For a lantern in a new extension it forms part of the extension's approval; replacements in existing homes have their own rules.
